Call Me Crazy!

Call me crazy but for some reason blogging seems to bring some comfort right now. I was going to straighten the basement and Tim's room but just had to take the pictures first. I keep getting a lump in my throat every time I think about him in Florida! I'm controlling myself and not calling! Or Texting! For four years we didn't talk during the week usually but I knew Tim was in town. I'm finally having to adjust like all the other out of state parents did during plebe year. Of course, during Tim's plebe year, I adjusted to being across country from my other kids and the grand babies! And, I did adjust to Mike living across country when he was in the army. So it will just take some adjusting! I'll get there! In the meantime, I may blog for comfort. Hey! It's better than eating! So here's a view of what's left of Tim in the basement.


Here's where Tim set up his desk for the summer with his computer and stereo. All that's left are remnants of midshipmen shoulder boards and pins,etc. The desk chair we bought him at the beginning of his Youngster year (sophomore) when he was quite grumpy about being at USNA! He could NOT fit that in his Camry!


His bed the way he left it on Tuesday am...you can't see it but that is an old cabbage patch pillow case! I guess I need to buy new pillow cases! It will be a long time before I take down what was his bulletin board the plebes painted for him during firstie year.


The tacks left in the wall where he had his pictures of family above his now empty dresser...


Empty shelves...what's left are things he wants to keep and couldn't fit in his car...or just junk I'll throw away!


Here's the couch as he left it...comfy pillows and warm blanket to snuggle with while watching TV....yes, the basement gets cold with our great heat pump!Empty IBC Root Beer bottles!


I'll straighten soon....sigh....
